Ingredients

2 thick-cut beef rump steaks (about 250g each)

250 g farfalle (AKA bowtie) pasta, cooked

1 punnet cherry tomatoes, cut in half

½ cup small black olives

200 g tub bocconcini, cut in half

100 g baby spinach leaves

¼ cup olive oil

2 tbsp red wine vinegar

Method

Brush the steaks lightly with oil. Season with salt and pepper. Preheat a BBQ flat-plate/char-grill plate/pan to hot before adding the steaks.

Cook on one side until the first sign of moisture appears. Turn once. Test doneness with tongs – rare is soft, medium feels springy and well done is very firm.
